      Agreed.  Thanks.  I’ve done my research and the majority of the reviews on the X-rite I’ve read have been positive but it is always good to have another opinion from someone that I “know” (i.e. have read your posts here and tgb)

          But what fun would that be?

              Now I’m building a system for my brother in Sacramento.  125 miles away.  I hope I’m not getting myself into a support nightmare…

              Definitely find a board w/ IPMI! (Note: Though I am serious it isn’t an easy thing to find on mediadesktop boards.  The few that have them are in the upper end)

                  The X-rite  Eye-one Display LT. It is spec’d to be accurate to .02 cd/m2 and .008 ftL is above that.

                  Katzmaier definitely has a more sensitive meter, but I don’t think that could explain the variation at play here as I am not alone in these lower readings. The HDTV Shootout held at Value Electronics was performed by ISF calibrators with very sensitive meters. HDGuru who also has a more sensitive meter measured .009 ftL, but these are all 58″ panels.

                  Thanks, I was just curious as I’ve been researching different spectrophotometers and colorimeters to invest in.

                  I was looking at the X-Rite EODIS2 Eye-One Display 2.

                      The reason I ask about your hardware is that you have introduced [i]at least[/i] 1 additional four-way split when adding the InfiniTV4 due to the internal splitter. 

                      If your signal is already on the low-end but worked fine before you could run into issues.

                          I currently have two Ceton InfiniTV4, two ATI DCT, three HDHomeRuns, an AVerMedia Duet, an AVerMedia AVerTV USB HD PVR and a Hauppauge HD-PVR connected to my primary HTPC [i]for testing[/i] and have not seen any conflicts between them.

                          The only time I’ve had issues with pixelation andor freezing is when I tested lower quality op-amps and passive splitters.

                          When you had issues did you go into the tuner debug screen (4-1-1) to see what tuner was having issues?

                          Update: Forgot about the two ATI DCTs…
